Hussein suffers from stage 4 cancer

(Hussein - 65 years old) suffers from fourth-degree tongue cancer, and part of it has been removed, and he needs chemotherapy and medicines for a year, at a cost of 151,145 dirhams, and this amount is beyond his modest financial capabilities, and he appeals to good people to help him manage the amount.

The patient tells the story of his suffering with the disease to "Emirates Today", saying: "I have lived in the country for several years, and support my family members in my country, but fate wanted me to suffer from a terminal illness, after which I entered the Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, where I had medical examinations and analyzes. And after the doctors appointed me, and the medical results appeared, it turned out that I had tongue cancer at a late stage, and I reached the fourth stage, and I underwent a procedure to remove part of the tongue, and then the doctors asked me to keep taking chemotherapy, and other medicines that I take, because I suffer from diseases Others, including high blood pressure, diabetes and anemia.

He added: “The cost of treatment for a year is 151,145 dirhams, and this amount is beyond my modest financial capabilities, and I do not know how to manage it in light of the fact that the health insurance card does not cover my treatment expenses, and I work as a private driver with a salary of 1,000 dirhams per month, and I have previously applied for a request for assistance. There are associations and charitable institutions in Abu Dhabi, and I have not found any response so far, and the delay in arranging the amount of my treatment worsens my health further.”

He pointed out that his family did not know what he had suffered, because they would worry about him very much, especially his children who are eagerly waiting to see him, but he cannot travel, because his treatment is here in the country.

And he said: "I have nothing but supplication for God to make those who help me make fun of me, and take care of my treatment expenses, and I appeal to good people and people of merciful hearts to help me."
